let's talk about the president's medicare plan versus mitt romney's medicare plan. the president strengthened medicare by finding savings by cutting subsidies to insurance companies and ensuring that we were rooting out waste and fraud and used the savings and putting it back to medicare. this is not from us, but independent analysis and because of the steps that the president took, we extended the life eight years and expanded the benefits and 75% of today's seniors have taken advantage of preventive care whether it is a mammogram or cancer screenings or wellness visits because of medicare without out of pocket costs. seniors are saving money every year on prescription drugs because of closing the doughnut hole, and those are tangible actions that the president took. they know that the $700 billion in savings had nothing to do with the senior benefits, but it expands the senior benefits. if you want to put it back into the system this is what it means, that i will use the taxpayer dollars to insurance companies, and overpayments and allow for the fraudsters to take
